Abstract / Excerpt:

From 1972-1993 (5 years internship and 16 years of my own practice) amalgam was by far the most prevalent dental filling material used by me (in the side tooth area). Different reasons led me to abandon use of this material in the spring of 1994. An amalgam-critical work which had appeared in the FASEB journal in 1989 (Hahn et al.) was certainly an important reason for my decision. Moreover, some of my own earlier observations (e.g. with Pat. No 2 and Pat. No 73) and the fact that alternatives to amalgam were widely available, were equally important reasons for me to discontinue using amalgam, a material I had considered highly reliable before.
